<content type='text'>
Add support for the Tegra210 timer that runs at oscillator clock
(TMR10-TMR13). We need these timers to work as clock event device and to
replace the ARMv8 architected timer due to it can't survive across the
power cycle of the CPU core or CPUPORESET signal. So it can't be a wake-up
source when CPU suspends in power down state.

Also convert the original driver to use timer-of API.

This patch adds a perf driver for the PMU UNCORE devices DDR4 Memory
Controller(DMC) and Level 3 Cache(L3C). Each PMU supports up to 4
counters. All counters lack overflow interrupt and are
sampled periodically.

If the CPU assigned to the xgene PMU is taken offline, then subsequent
perf invocations on the PMU will fail:

  # echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
  # perf stat -a -e l3c0/cycle-count/,l3c0/write/ sleep 1
    Error:
    The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 19 (No such device) for event (l3c0/cycle-count/).
    /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
    No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

This patch implements a hotplug notifier in the xgene PMU driver so that
the PMU context is migrated to another online CPU should its assigned
CPU disappear.

The driver is for C-SKY SMP timer. It only supports oneshot event
and 32bit overflow for clocksource. Per cpu core has one timer and
all timers share one clock-counter-input from the same clocksource.

This use mfcr&amp;mtcr instructions to access the regs.

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "This contains some major improvements to the RISC-V port, including
  the necessary interrupt controller and timer support to actually make
  it to userspace. Support for three devices has been added:

   - the ISA-mandated timers on RISC-V systems.

   - the ISA-mandated first-level interrupt controller on RISC-V
     systems, which is handled as part of our core arch code because
     it's very small and tightly tied to the ISA.

   - SiFive's platform-level interrupt controller, which talks to the
     actual devices.

  In addition to these new devices, there are a handful of cleanups all
  over the RISC-V tree:

   - build fixes for various configurations:
      * A fix to the vDSO build's makefile so it respects CFLAGS.
      * The addition of __lshrti3, a libgcc derived function necessary
        for some 32-bit configurations.
      * !SMP &amp;&amp; PERF_EVENTS

   - Cleanups to the arch code to remove the remnants of old versions of
     the drivers that were just properly submitted.
      * Some dead code from the timer driver, most of which wasn't ever
        even compiled.
      * Cleanups of some interrupt #defines, which are now local to the
        interrupt handling code.

   - Fixes to ptrace(), which while not being sufficient to fully make
     GDB work are at least sufficient to get simple GDB tasks to work.

   - Early printk support via RISC-V's architecturally mandated SBI
     console device.

   - A fix to our early debug trap handler to ensure it's always
     aligned.

  These patches have all been through a fairly extensive review process,
  but as this enables a whole pile of functionality (ie, userspace) I'm
  confident we'll need to submit a few more patches. The only concrete
  issues I know about are the sys_riscv_flush_icache patches, but as I
  managed to screw those up on Friday I figured it'd be best to let them
  bake another week.

  This tag boots a Fedora root filesystem on QEMU's master branch for
  me, and before this morning's rebase (from 4.18-rc8 to 4.18) it booted
  on the HiFive Unleashed.

  Thanks to Christoph Hellwig and the other guys at WD for getting the
  new drivers in shape!"

The RISC-V ISA defines a per-hart real-time clock and timer, which is
present on all systems.  The clock is accessed via the 'rdtime'
pseudo-instruction (which reads a CSR), and the timer is set via an SBI
call.

<title>watchdog/softlockup: Replace "watchdog/%u" threads with cpu_stop_work</title>

<id>9cf57731b63e37ed995b46690adc604891a9a28f</id>
<content type='text'>
Oleg suggested to replace the "watchdog/%u" threads with
cpu_stop_work. That removes one thread per CPU while at the same time
fixes softlockup vs SCHED_DEADLINE.

But more importantly, it does away with the single
smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() user, which allows
cleanups/shrinkage of the smpboot interface.

Oleg suggested to replace the "watchdog/%u" threads with
cpu_stop_work. That removes one thread per CPU while at the same time
fixes softlockup vs SCHED_DEADLINE.

But more importantly, it does away with the single
smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() user, which allows
cleanups/shrinkage of the smpboot interface.

<title>ARM: mvebu: convert secondary CPU clock sync to hotplug state</title>

The current call site in boot_secondary is causing sleep in invalid context
warnings, as this part of the code is running with interrrupts disabled and
some of the calls into the clock framework might sleep on a mutex.

Convert the secondary CPU clock sync to a hotplug state, which allows to
call it from a sleepable context.

<title>arch: remove blackfin port</title>

The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather
active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill
over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up.

Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant,
and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because
of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of
duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when
doing cross-architecture changes.
